“Issued exactly four weeks after the argument... It’s not that often that you get a unanimous 57-page decision on novel questions of law in 28 days. And you almost never get an opinion of this quality in such a short period of time. I’ve read thousands of judicial opinions in my four decades as a law student and lawyer. Few have been as good as this one.”
In March, the @washingtonpost reported the FBI had actively delayed searching for missing classified documents at Mar-a-Lago.
I am not surprised to read that the FBI skipped two rooms, including a closet that had a new lock at Trump’s direction.
We have former military supporting Trump, rejecting their oath. Law enforcement from around the country were part of #January6th. Texas and 25 other GOP governors, spoiling for a border fight.
In my thirty-seven years on the bench, I cannot recall a time when such meritless justifications of criminal activity have gone mainstream. I have been shocked to watch some public figures try to rewrite history, claiming rioters behaved ‘in an orderly fashion’ like ordinary tourists, or martyrizing convicted January 6 defendants as ‘political prisoners’ or even, incredibly, ‘hostages." That is all preposterous. But the Court fears that such destructive, misguided rhetoric could presage further danger to our country — Senior US District Court Judge Royce C Lamberth #quotes#quote#DestructiveMisinformation#January6th#Republicans#EliseStefanik
Remember Insurrectionist Barry Loudermilk .... the one that took some magas on an illegal reconnaissance tour of the US #Capitol took photos of the inside of the Capitol on January 5th?
Loudermilk must have received a Target Letter. 👇🏻
Oversight Subcommittee Chairman Barry Loudermilk Instructs Cassidy Hutchinson to Produce all January 6th Related Records - Press Releases - United States Committee on House Administration.
If Loudermilk "is a target then this is arguably wittiness intimidation but not likely to be charged due to speech and debate immunity. But it could convince the Special Counsel to move quicker to charge so Loudermilk and his conspirators are put under court conditions of release."
While America reeled from the shockwaves of January 6, some saw dollar signs: Mother Jones and committee leaks expose a hidden network of profiteers within the political and extremist landscape.
President Trump asked me to put him over the Constitution. But I chose the Constitution… I really do believe that anyone who puts themself over the Constitution should never be president of the US — Mike Pence #quotes#quote#Trump#January6th#Insurrection#Elections2024
“Choose your leaders
with wisdom and forethought.
To be led by a coward
is to be controlled
by all that the coward fears.
To be led by a fool
is to be led
by the opportunists
who control the fool.
To be led by a thief
is to offer up
your most precious treasures
to be stolen.
To be led by a liar
is to ask
to be told lies.
To be led by a tyrant
is to sell yourself
and those you love
into slavery.”

Kinda wild we just...never found out who planted bombs at the DNC and RNC the night of January 5, just hours prior to the Capitol attack on #January6th.
$500,000 Reward Remains in Effect for Information About Capitol Hill Pipe Bomber.
Interesting #TheBigLie#trumpstooges are running a #disinformation operation around the insurrection eve pipe bomber. Bombs were found on #January6th. In this particular Disinformation operation Republicans flooding the public discourse with lies/fraud/Disinformation. Here, fired fox entertainment fraudster is trying to frame law enforcement for #January6.
Disinformation is one of republican’s most common weapons. Republicans normalized the concept of perpetual adversarial competition in the information environment by encouraging the development of a disinformation and propaganda ecosystem (fox, tucker, mtg, trump). This ecosystem creates and spreads false narratives to strategically advance the fascist goals. There is no subject off-limits to this firehose of falsehoods. Aka Flood the zone with shit.
Tucker repeats the lie that the gov't planted the bombs.
A Jan. 6 participant posted a video of two Capitol rioters — clad mostly in black — smashing a window on the lower west terrace.
Attackers photographed doing crimes try to say the photos of them was antifa!?
"Suspected ANTIFA trying to break windows at the Capitol," he wrote.
That's a big nope!
Let's review.
The man on the right is Jonathan Munafo, a Trump groupie known as "Front Row Joe," who was recently sentenced to nearly three years in federal prison.
In fact, the very video that the uncharged Jan. 6 participant posted is cited in the government's sentencing memo in "Front Row Joe" Munafo's case!
The man on the left is William Lewis, aka #CarharttWasp. He's got that Army patch on his arm. The feds say that he attacked officers with chemical spray on at least three separate occasions.
He's been arrested and charged
You can match up the shots.
Republican criminals tried to blame antifa for their crimes!
NEW: Prosecutors say they’re worried a new Jan. 6 defendant — convicted for killing an unarmed, handcuffed Iraqi civilian in 2004 — will “snap again” now that he’s facing charges for violence at the Capitol.
They also found an illegal AR-15 in his home.
A magistrate in Edward Richmond’s Louisiana area rejected DOJ’s bid to detain Richmond while he awaits trial (see below).
DOJ has made an emergency appeal to a judge in DC to reverse that decision, saying he’s both dangerous and a flight risk. Richmond maintains no active driver’s license, has no traceable income and does not have utility bills in his name, prosecutors say, contending this makes him a likely candidate to flee justice.
Donald Trump and His Personal Attorney Rudy Giuliani Worked With #Russian Intelligence Agents to Try to #Steal the 2020 U.S. #Presidential#Election.
Ukraine’s Security Service (SBU) charged parliament member Oleksandr Dubinsky with treason, working with Russian FSB/KGB agents of russia, indicting him alongside Andriy Derkach and former prosecutor Kostyantyn Kulyk, who have both fled the country. The three were part of a Kremlin-backed effort to feed Giuliani russian disinformation in an attempt to harm President Joe Biden.
Scott Perry, who serves as the chair of the House Freedom Caucus, was “central to the planning of January 6,” according to former White House aide Cassidy Hutchinson. Now, there’s an effort in Pennsylvania to have Perry removed from the ballot.
